Chapter 694: Why Did You Lie to Him?
Ye Fei remained silent.
Although it wouldn't matter to tell the dean that the artifact was in Yun Fusang's hands—the dean was so eager for anyone in the academy, he believed that the dean would not have the heart to kill students for coveting the artifact.
However, whether or not the dean should know about this matter is ultimately up to Yun Fusang.
Ye Fei spread her hands in front of the dean, her expression completely innocent: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, dean. I have never seen a divine artifact, let alone formed a pact with one."
The dean laughed heartily and ruffled her hair: "Divine artifacts are sacred objects, rare and unattainable. Xiao Fei, you don't need to take it too seriously, I was just mentioning it casually."
Ye Fei nodded obediently: "Dean, is there anything else you want to ask me?"
The dean said, "That's all, but I still want to tell you something—I think it's right for Xiao Li to leave the academy at this time. You don't need to worry about him. Just do what you need to do and wait for his return."
Feeling the dean's concern for her, Ye Fei felt a warmth in her heart and said with a smile, "Okay, I will work hard in my cultivation."
After the dean left, Ye Fei rubbed her stomach; she was a little hungry. She decided to go to the cafeteria to buy something to eat…
Thinking to herself, Ye Fei headed towards the cafeteria.
"Xiao Fei?"
Just then, a melodious voice came from behind. Ye Fei turned around and saw Huang Rongyu.
Ye Fei smiled slightly at Huang Rongyu: "Rongyu? What a coincidence, do you want to go to the cafeteria together? I want to buy something to fill my stomach."
Huang Rongyu took out a box of pastries from the storage ring on her finger. These were snacks she hadn't had time to give out last night: "Want some?"
"Oh? You just bought some snacks... Then I won't be polite!" Ye Fei happily accepted the snacks. "Want to eat together?"
The two chose a nearby pavilion to sit in.
Ye Fei picked up a pastry from the box and put it in her mouth. Huang Rongyu sat opposite her, propping his chin up and watching her every move intently.
"What are you looking at me for? Come on, let's eat together!" Ye Fei pushed the box in front of Huang Rongyu.
Huang Rongyu gracefully picked up a piece of sweet cake, but he didn't eat it: "Actually, I was thinking of sending this box of cakes to you last night."
"But Xiaofei didn't seem to be in the dorm last night."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei paused in her snacking. Had he lingered outside her dormitory?
However, she was in Li Yuan's dormitory at the time...
Ye Fei didn't really want to tell Huang Rongyu that she had gone to Li Yuan's dormitory, so she said casually, "Yes, I went to Tianji Pavilion to find my sister last night. If I had known you would come looking for me, I should have gone earlier and come back earlier."
Huang Rongyu: "..."
Ye Fei was extremely hungry and was only focused on munching on her snacks, so she didn't notice the fleeting strange light in Huang Rongyu's clear phoenix eyes.
Xiao Fei... is lying.
She clearly went to Li's dormitory.
Why deceive him with such a reason?
Huang Rongyu pursed his thin lips, crushing the soft sweet cake in his hand into powder.
Ye Fei was taken aback, then murmured, "...Rong Yu?"
"Sorry, I was thinking about something else and got a little distracted." Huang Rongyu smiled naturally, the boy perfectly concealing any momentary displeasure or gloom. "By the way, Mu Han also has to leave the academy temporarily."
Ye Fei: "Hmm? Mu Han? What happened to her?"
"She said something had happened at home and she rushed back to Xingluo Kingdom," Huang Rongyu said.
"Ah..." Ye Fei frowned slightly, "I hope it's not something bad."
